TO: Members Commission Studying Speaker Ban Law
FROM: David M. Brttt, Chairmen
Pursuant to our meeting in Greensboro on September 28, I send each of you a copy of the "Speaker Policy" which we adopted at that meeting. No doubt each of you has had occasion to consider the matter further and feel that possibly this statement could be strengthened. I would hate to know that we would have to go through again the ordeal of working out a statement but I do know that a few minor changes to the enclosed statement would, not hurt anybody and would make the statement more acceptable to proponents of the law.
In a telephone conversation with Gus Zollicoffer this morning he expressed the same sentiments even before I mentioned them to him. Specifically, we feel that the word "continue" in the second paragraph on page 2 should be eliminated in view of the fact that this policy is suggested for all of our state-supported colleges and universities and maay of them have never invited Communists to their campuses.
It was also Gus' feeling that in the second sentence of the last paragraph and after the word "rules" we should add "consistent with this policy", I fully concur in this suggestion and feel that this would strengthen the statement.
It was also Gus' feeling that the statement would be strengthened ty a sentence approving the 19kl law, as amended, and declaring strict adherence to it.
